Spain
had two Golden Ages: in the 1500s, during the Age of Exploration, it
colonized the Americas and was so powerful that it challenged England
with an armada; but there was an earlier one, during the Medieval period
when Spain was conquered by tolerant Arabs and became a cosmopolitan
world center where Muslim, Christian, and Jew mingled and prospered.
This album features musical examples of the three cultures.
